Too much content for a 2hr movie


This movie was thick. This could've easily been a mini-series, and I hated it all had to be squeezed into a movie.

A movie definitely can have too much plot and backstory but I usually prefer that it have that than too little, better to at least be ambitious than simple.

I didn't think this movie was too packed to follow.
